How do you change how many spaces contains a TAB character in the console (tty) ?
 

I like sometimes working in the console because I have to do some scripting, but my problem is the TAB is too large, 8 characters I think. Is it possible to change this? Thank you.

If you mena the num of spcaes in a tab created in a given editor, it depends on the editor.
For vi/vim, I use the following .exrc file:

set showmatch
set tabstop=4
set shiftwidth=4
set noautoindent

in my home dir.

Thanks.
 

Thanks. It works.
